See response to linked question. Groovy syntax is still not explicitly supported, but it should now at least auto-highlight to whatever similar language highlight.js thinks it might be

We do have a grammar for Groovy if you're talking about groovy-lang.org. I assume StackOverflow simply isn't loading that yet?

I know that and also mentioned it in my question. It don't know why SO does not just use something that already exists. I also asked in a comment how to go about making a feature request to explicitly support Groovy, but received no answer. Slightly off-topic, IMO syntax highlighting in general (also for Java) became worse after switching the highlighting framework. My own answers are way less readable than they were before, fewer elements are highlighted and where they are they don't stand out much, which also affects Groovy indirectly.
